Frequently Asked Questions About Studentcare Dentists
- What services are covered under Studentcare?
Studentcare typically covers preventive care (cleanings, check-ups), basic services (fillings, extractions), and some major restorative treatments. Specific coverage depends on your plan, so refer to your policy documents or contact us for assistance.
- Can I opt out of Studentcare?
Yes, if you already have comparable dental coverage, you may opt out of Studentcare. You’ll need to provide proof of insurance, and opt-out deadlines vary by institution. Check your school’s student services office for details.
- What are Blackout Periods, and how do they affect me?
Blackout periods are times when Studentcare cannot confirm your coverage, usually at the beginning of a new semester.
- Fall Blackout Period: From September 1 to October 31.
- Winter Blackout Period: From January 1 to February 28 for new students.
If you receive dental care during a blackout period, keep all receipts. You can claim reimbursement once your coverage is confirmed.
- Do I need to visit a Studentcare network dentist?
While it’s not mandatory, visiting a network dentist like Atlas Dental ensures you receive the full Studentcare discount. Non-network dentists may charge higher fees, which could increase your out-of-pocket costs.
Studentcare makes it easy for students to access affordable dental care while managing the demands of academic life. If you have further questions about Studentcare or want to book an appointment, contact us at Atlas Dental today!
